Zacch Pickens

23-Year-Old Defensive TackleDT
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears selected Pickens with the 64th pick in the 2023 draft, so they made a solid investment in addressing their interior defensive line. In past years, Chicago struggled with interior defense, both in terms of stopping the run and pressuring opposing quarterbacks. In the short term, Pickens may find himself competing with free-agent addition Andrew Billings, who is a six year veteran. However, if Pickens lives up to his draft capital early on, he could take the lead in what will likely be a defensive line rotation. Read Past Outlooks

The Bears selected Pickens in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 64th overall.
ANALYSIS
Pickens (6-foot-4, 291 pounds) is big by defensive end standards but light compared to most tackles, making him a bit of a tweener who might fit best in odd-numbered fronts. Pickens' production was lacking at South Carolina otherwise, but his 4.89 40-yard dash and 116-inch broad jump indicate uncommon disruptive potential for one-gap tasks.
